i major in cs but no coop. i started looking for a developer internship in late Jan and did get a bunch of interviews and rejections from a number of startups in the states ...plus not a lot of responses from big companies yet. what to do then? it is just awkward that i cant land an internship with skills and experience lol

What sort of experience do you have? You don't need an internship to get experience, you can start working on your own things or join a volunteer project to build your resume while you look for something professional.

I don't know if you've done any web development, but consider putting together a (good looking) website that you can use to showcase whatever you've worked on. Emphasis on good looking.

bro, thats the most awkward part. i do have projects posted on public repos like github (mentioned in resume and guess thats why i got so many responses from startups ^ )but they are primarily written with c/c++. haha i dont have web dev experience but i did make a simple crappy webgame with javascript...i would choose not to find an internship if i have enough savings for this summer lol

If you're looking to apply to web dev positions, a bit of Javascript and HTML won't cut it. Try learning CSS (very easy to learn), php, some simple SQL and maybe read about MVC frameworks. There are tons of good tutorials on those topics online. Good luck with your job search!
